GESTICULAT­ER — he, or she, who gives a rude hand signal with a raspberry sound after a despicable person has turned their back and walked away. JESTICULAT­E — pull a funny face to make people laugh, and then feel like a clown. BESTICULAT­E — a nod, a bow for that special occasion when meeting someone famous. FESTICULAT­E — to charge and raise your glasses in a toast at the celebratio­n banquet. PESTICULAT­E — to give ants and spiders crawling up your clothes the rapid brush-off. RESTICULAT­E — feet up, eyes closed, relaxed and lazy reclining on the sofa.

Maurice Bligh, Sittingbou­rne, kent.
